Questions about this item

Should I buy the single unit or the case of 10 for my project?

The case of 10 suits contractors or multi-fixture installs; a single ballast is enough for one luminaire.

What lamp wattages will the GEC213-MVPS-BES actually run in my fixture?

It operates one or two 13 W or 14 W T5 lamps, one 18 W quad or triple tube, and one 16 W 2D lamp.

Does the high-frequency electronic design eliminate flicker on standard mains voltage?

Yes, the high-frequency electronic circuit drives the lamps above mains frequency to remove visible flicker.
